CHAPTER 6: I DON'T WANT TO TELL CHIRON

Annabeth POV:

As soon as I walked in, I saw Percy eating breakfast at his table. That made me smile widely, if he was eating again that meant he was really feeling better. I waved at him and went to get my plate and burn some of my food to the gods, then I sat with my siblings and ate slowly and peacefully thinking that everything was getting back to normal. Of course I was wrong, and I never like to admit I'm wrong.

Percy joined me after breakfast and asked me if I wanted to go swimming with him; he had this look in his eyes and I couldn't resist. We had an incredible time together but then came lunch and we had to teach a sword class after that.

I really didn't have much to do; after all, Percy was the best swordsmen in camp. I just stepped in from time to time when he needed to make a demonstration but I have to say I'm not so bad myself. He was teaching a defensive move to the group so this time my role was to attack him and so I did. We started slowly at first but quickly gain some speed and the group formed a circle around us. We were making a good show; I could even say that it was turning out to be a pretty even match. I wasn't able to get through his defense technique but he wasn't able to disarm me either. About seven minutes had passed and we were starting to get tired but I guess a silent competition was going on between us 'cause we didn't want to stop either until one of us won. Somehow Percy got distracted and I took it as an opportunity to disarm him, when he realized what I was doing it was too late, he ended up flat on the floor with my sword at his throat. People cheered and I couldn't help but laugh at Percy's expression.

"And that is how you beat the defensive move" I said and helped Percy up. I noticed something was a bit wrong with him 'cause he'd turned so pale but he gave me a look that said: "I'm fine." Typical, seaweed brain. He ended the lesson and motioned for me to follow him to where we keep all the weapons at camp. When we got there I saw a small but deep cut in his upper arm that he must have gotten from me when we were fighting and it was bleeding more than it should. Apparently he hadn't noticed but wait… bleeding? Percy wasn't supposed to bleed.

"Percy?... umm, why are you bleeding?"

"What do you mean?" I pointed toward the wound and his face dropped. He sat on the chair next to him and stared at his arm. "Oww" he said.

"Are you okay? Why are you bleeding? You´re not supposed to bleed" I was getting a little worried. Why wasn't his Achilles curse working?

"I-I'm not sure" he looked at me with what I think was fear and he was not a person that liked to show fear.

"Come on… first we get that arm cured and then we go tell Chiron what happened."

He didn't reply; he just followed me to the infirmary putting his hand over the wound. We found Will cleaning someone else's wound and when he was done he came to us. He asked me what was wrong with me and got a shocked look in his eyes when I told him it was Percy, not me.

"But I thought you were invincible, how did this happen?" Will asked while cleaning the cut and putting a bandage around Percy's arm. Percy had been so quiet; he didn't even look at Will when he asked the question so I answered for him.

"We don't know but please don't tell anybody 'till we figure out what's wrong"

"Sure thing Annabeth. Perce, does it hurt?"

"What?" he seemed to be on another planet. I was really getting worried now. One thing was having his Achilles curse failing but another was to have him acting so distant, like he wasn't even here.

"You're arm Percy, does it hurt?" Will repeated like he was talking to a five year old.

"Oh no…well not that much. Thanks Will." He said and then stormed out of the infirmary. I thanked Will as well and followed Percy out. He was heading to his cabin and I quickly stopped him.

"We have to go tell Chiron. This is serious Percy we don't know why you're Achilles curse didn't work."

"I don't wanna tell him." He said and started walking to his cabin again. I saw him in shock but recovered fast enough to reach him when he was entering cabin three.

"What do you mean you don't want to tell him?" I asked, trying to control the anger that was starting to build inside of me. "We need to tell him! We need to figure out why this happened!" he sat on his bed and started to pull off his shirt to get a better look of his wound.

"I know why… and I don't want to tell Chiron because then he won't let me out of camp or even do anything around here and he'll be constantly checking on me like I was a newcomer again." I just stared at him. I guess he was right about Chiron but we just couldn't keep this from him.

And that is the end of chapter 6. I really hope you liked it and although I'm not getting any feedback so far, I plan to keep on updating as much as I can because I love to write this J
